@CorrieB I feel really sorry for prins like you mate who are flying straight into a tornado on a paper aeroplane, I’m not sure how you manage a school when no clear plan is presented.

@CorrieB @Deakin Good work Corrie, enjoyed flipping through your presentation. Valuable take aways for educators at any level

My slide deck from this evenings @Deakin Pre-Service Teacher Presentation. Focus: 21st Century Digital Technology Skills. #vicpln #edtech #edchat cbarclay.global2.vic.edu.au/2020/05/27/tow…

Educators are flying the plane while building it. What we have learned is that a virus cannot stop their commitment to kids.

@Jesse_Fisher89 Our specialist subjects are also running and those teachers contact students to do their lessons. So far it has worked really smoothly.

@jcolbert1980 This is for next term starting Wednesday 15th April if there is no school by then. We are just going to start small and then each week add something new so we are not overloading students, parents or staff. What platforms are you using? What does your remote learning look like?

Today we mapped out what whole school #remotelearning looks like across the school. The plan will likely change, we need to be flexible but the time to innovate is now! Challenge accepted! #vicpln #AppleEDUchat

@Jesse_Fisher89 This week we email our classes each day with a daily timetable and lessons. Students can email back questions they have. We don’t send out a weeks worth of tasks, instead trying to keep the day as normal as possible. Next term we will move to Microsoft teams.

@MrJ_Wigg @MeredithPeace Very interesting thought

@jcolbert1980 Want to know @MeredithPeace's stance on teachers having to provide remote learning resources to parents who choose to not send their child to school if it's open. More workload for teachers.

So are Victorian Schools open or closed as of Tuesday? 🤔

@MrJ_Wigg Dont trust any of them!

@jcolbert1980 I would trust Andrews over Morrison.

@MrJ_Wigg So who is in charge of this decision because the left hand is not talking to the right....sounds like the lunatics are in charge of the asylum

@jcolbert1980 I'm confused. Premier Andrews is shutting schools. But ScoMo is saying they have to open for parents want to send them..

It was a joy to attend the launch of @geelongcollege Neuroscientist in Residence, Jared Cooney Horvath. What is the 21st skill we need? Learning. I was one of the lucky finders of a pink note, I am looking forward to reading Stop Talking Start Influencing. @leannejrussell

How many more times do we need to see the same slide in results before we agree that we need to do something DIFFERENTLY. If i hear one more politician say “Back to Basics” i will explode! abc.net.au/news/2019-12-0…

Looking fwd to a great day at @firstlegoleague City Shaper competition day @geelongcollege
